UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH DAKOTA DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION VERMILLION, SQUTH DAKOTA CARL B. HOY DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS September 16, 1941 Mr. "Fog" Allen Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Fog": I am writing you this morning concerning & boy by the name of Robert Siddons who is enrolling this year at the University of Kansas for two reasons: first, courses in engineering which we do not have, and second, because of family con- nections. I want to recommend him to you as one of the outstanding high school basketball players in the state, I never had @ chance to see him perform, but from @11 reports he is above average in al1l~around ability and will make a high class student at any institution. Anything that you may be able to do for him will certainly be appreciated as I consider him @ very fine friend and also his family. I 4am sure that when you get to know him you will like him. Best of luck for the coming season, and kindest personal regards, Very truly yours, Ah VS 2 Carl B. Hoy CBH: dw Athletic Director AY
